  1. Hello sir,

    Thank you for your wonderful lessons.
    Like others, I have a question too.

    This questions is related with the example on the next lesson but I want to relate it too with video of the lesson above til min 12:30 regarding Lodgements.

    In the example 1 on next lesson, item 5: there’s a lodgements of $4000 not yet appeared on bank statement, (according to video above til min 12:30 on lesson above) means that this amount is already receipt in our cash account that have a Debit Balance of $11,820.
    If so, that this amount of $4000 IS INCLUDED in balance $11,820 of cash a/c, then Why this amount is ADD in bank reconciliation statement at the end to explain the difference timing and adding this value to adjust/reach the amount of $15,000 on bank statement???

    Thank you again for yours magnificent lessons!

    • The 4,000 is already included in the cash book balance. However it is not on the bank statement and therefore the balance on the bank statement is lower by 4,000. So to make them agree the balance on the bank statement needs increasing by 4,000.

  4. Hi sir, If I received some cheques from some clients in September, I would debit the bank and credit the Receivables but I never lodge those cheques until October. Is those cheques recorded as cash in hand on the balance sheet? Or they are still apart of the bank but is recorded is added as outstanding lodgement on the bank reconciliation

    • The cheques are entered in the cash account as received when the cheques are received. If they have not yet been paid into the bank, then they also appear on the reconciliation statement as outstanding lodgements.

      • Thank you sir, that is what I know and the auditor is telling me that they are cash in hand because they weren’t lodge until the following month. Thank you so much again.

      • In the financial statements we normally don’t show cash in hand and cash at bank separately.

        With regard to what the auditor has told you – that is correct and is what I wrote in my previous reply.

        The cheques received are entered in the cash amount when they are received and therefore do appear as an asset in the financial statements. If they have not been paid into the bank then they also appear on the bank reconciliation statement, otherwise the cash balance will not agree with the bank balance.

        Have you watched the further lectures on bank reconciliations?

      • Yes sir I did. However, the auditors do show Cash in Hand different from Cash at Bank on the balance sheet. Hence why I am saying it shouldn’t be shown as cash in hand because they use the cash in hand only for the petty cash.

      • Thank you so much sir for understanding. I do appreciate this and thank you for allowing me to understand too. I’m taking this exam in December.

    • If it is a payment by credit transfer then yes – we credit cash.

      It is a receipt by credit transfer then we debit cash.

      (The word credit in credit transfer is nothing to do with debits or credits – it is just another word for a bank transfer)
